  • Eligibility to post classifieds

    The Yardsale is not intended for use by people joining the forum purely to sell an item, so members must have at least 40 posts to be eligible. However new members may post if they either:

    • upgraded their account with an annual (not monthly) subscription. This is for access to sell without needing the 40 posts and the contribution after a successful sale still applies.
    • or pay the 5% contribution on the initial listing price up front (non refundable) then a listing will be allowed.

conn crossbar

I appear to have 272xxx in my possession at the mo. Perhaps someone could enlighten me why they're so sought after. Or is 1936 beyond the pale?
 
There's a 250xxx on the howarth second hand list.
and a 275xxx for that matter.
Both asking £3200- but they've been on there for a while so i imagine they're open to offers.
Depends if 250 is too late for you?

I have a 1934 Conn - and he reason everyone wants one is the sound -modern instruments don't really come close (imho). There's a great article on Bari instruments & quality here - good to read if you're about to buy one:

Good luck with your hunting.

"Good to read" providing you bear in mind it's just one chap's opinion (and not one I agree with).
 
Joe Temperly plays a Conn Crossbar. It plays to low Bb and has been heavily modified. I have no idea what the changes are.

I'm with you on that, Nick. There were a lot of assertions in the article which were very subjective, and a few which I think are downright cobblers.
